Dear URI Faculty and Staff,

URI’s John Hazen White Sr. Center for Ethics and Public Service is excited to offer a new mini-grant program intended to support campus-led projects on applied ethics and public service. The awards will range between $250-$2000 per fiscal year and are available to any URI employee (faculty or staff).

The Center will review proposals three times each year:  Nov. 15, April 15, and Aug. 15.

All proposals, including names of applicants/project leaders, a brief description of intended work, and a short budget justification, must be submitted via form, limited to the word/spatial limits indicated. Please review the application guidelines and procedures prior to submitting your proposal. You can also access the application form and guidelines and procedures on our website: uri.edu/jhwcenter/

An information session about the Center’s mini-grant program will be held on Thursday, Nov. 12, from 3:30-4:30 p.m. in Galanti Lounge (3rd floor of the library). Light refreshments will be provided. We encourage you to attend!
